Introducing Otterstone Studio

In September 2025, I left my old studio in the Kaiapoi Mill and began the very long task of building a new one at home: Otterstone.

While I waited for it to be finished, I worked to develop a new range of soap and wax products. The first, Otterstone Garden Soap, is already in the shop, and there's more to come.

Though still a work in progress inside and out, Otterstone is now up and running, and open to the public on Tuesday mornings, 10am–1pm (address on request). Come by to drop off or collect repairs, smell the soap and wax melts, or just say hello. There's no permanent retail display, but some pieces are usually out to browse and buy. And yes, I am once again making sterling silver jewellery.

Hope to see you on a Tuesday.

Kind Words

“Love the earrings… my little piece of New Zealand while visiting from Canada.”

“The colour of the hearts is hard to describe, they are somehow both brilliant sapphire blue and dark ocean blue at the same time. The silver is smooth and they feel light and just the right amount of jangly.”
